Fight for Charities

The recently passed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will drastically impact charitable giving for 21 million Americans and damage the very fabric of the charitable sector and our communities. Congress should support American values of giving by expanding charitable giving tax benefits – not reducing them. Join us in fighting for charities by asking your Member of Congress to co-sponsor the Universal Charitable Giving Act of 2017.

Support the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program.

Stand Up for Working Americans

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is one of the best tools we have to promote work and fight poverty, lifting about 6 million Americans out of poverty annually. Only those who work are eligible, and recipients use the EITC for reliable transportation to work, groceries, and quality childcare. Tell your representatives just how important this critical working tax credit is for your community.
